Turning on the Standard mode of Database Insights for Amazon Aurora - Amazon Aurora

Turning on the Standard mode of Database Insights for Amazon Aurora

To turn on the Standard mode of Database Insights for Amazon Aurora, use the following procedures.

Turning on the Standard mode of Database Insights when creating a DB cluster

Turn on the Standard mode of Database Insights when creating a database for Amazon Aurora.

Console

In the console, you can turn on the Standard mode of Database Insights when you create a DB cluster. Settings for Database Insights apply to all DB instances in your DB cluster.

To turn on the Standard mode of Database Insights when creating a DB cluster using the console
  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/.

  2. Choose Databases.

  3. Choose Create database.

  4. In the Database Insights section, select Standard mode. Then, choose from the following options to turn Performance Insights on or off:

    • To turn off Performance Insights, deselect Enable Performance Insights.

    • To turn on Performance Insights, select Enable Performance Insights. To configure Performance Insights, specify the following options:

      • Retention – The amount of time to retain Performance Insights data. The retention period must be at least 7 days.

      • AWS KMS key – Specify your KMS key. Performance Insights encrypts all potentially sensitive data using your KMS key. Data is encrypted in flight and at rest. For more information, see Encrypting Amazon Aurora resources.

  5. Choose Create database.

AWS CLI

To turn on the Standard mode of Database Insights when creating a DB cluster, call the create-db-cluster AWS CLI command and supply the following values:

  • --database-insights-mode standard to turn on the Standard mode of Database Insights.

  • --engine – The database engine for the DB cluster.

  • --db-cluster-identifier – The unique identifier for the DB cluster.

  • --enable-performance-insights or --no-enable-performance-insights to turn Performance Insights on or off. If you specify --enable-performance-insights, you must also specify the --performance-insights-retention-period – The retention period for data for your DB cluster. The retention period must be at least 7 days.

The following example enables the Standard mode of Database Insights and Performance Insights when creating a DB cluster.

For Linux, macOS, or Unix:

aws rds create-db-cluster \ --database-insights-mode standard \ --engine aurora-postgresql \ --db-cluster-identifier sample-db-cluster \ --enable-performance-insights \ --performance-insights-retention-period 7

For Windows:

aws rds create-db-cluster ^ --database-insights-mode standard ^ --engine aurora-postgresql ^ --db-cluster-identifier sample-db-cluster ^ --enable-performance-insights ^ --performance-insights-retention-period 7

The following example enables the Standard mode of Database Insights and disables Performance Insights when creating a DB cluster.

For Linux, macOS, or Unix:

aws rds create-db-cluster \ --database-insights-mode standard \ --engine aurora-postgresql \ --db-cluster-identifier sample-db-cluster \ --no-enable-performance-insights

For Windows:

aws rds create-db-cluster ^ --database-insights-mode standard ^ --engine aurora-postgresql ^ --db-cluster-identifier sample-db-cluster ^ --no-enable-performance-insights
RDS API

To turn on the Standard mode of Database Insights when you create a DB cluster, specify the following parameters for your CreateDBCluster Amazon RDS API operation.

  • DatabaseInsightsMode to standard

  • EnablePerformanceInsights to True or False. If you set EnablePerformanceInsights to True, you must set PerformanceInsightsRetentionPeriod to at least 7 days.

Turning on the Standard mode of Database Insights when modifying a DB cluster

Turn on Standard mode of Database Insights when modifying a database for Amazon Aurora.

Console

In the console, you can turn on the Standard mode of Database Insights when you modify a DB cluster. Settings for Database Insights apply to all DB instances in your DB cluster.

To turn on the Standard mode of Database Insights when modifying a DB cluster using the console
  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/.

  2. Choose Databases.

  3. Choose a DB cluster, and choose Modify.

  4. In the Database Insights section, select Standard mode. Then, choose from the following options:

    • To turn off Performance Insights, deselect Enable Performance Insights.

    • To turn on Performance Insights, select Enable Performance Insights. To configure Performance Insights, specify the following options:

      • Retention – The amount of time to retain Performance Insights data. The retention period must be at least 7 days.

      • AWS KMS key – Specify your KMS key. Performance Insights encrypts all potentially sensitive data using your KMS key. Data is encrypted in flight and at rest. For more information, see Encrypting Amazon Aurora resources.

  5. Choose Continue.

  6. For Scheduling of Modifications, choose Apply immediately. If you choose Apply during the next scheduled maintenance window, your database ignores this setting and turns on the Standard mode of Database Insights immediately.

  7. Choose Modify cluster.

AWS CLI

To turn on the Standard mode of Database Insights when modifying a DB cluster, call the modify-db-cluster AWS CLI command and supply the following values:

  • --database-insights-mode standard to turn on the Standard mode of Database Insights.

  • --db-cluster-identifier – The identifier for the DB cluster.

  • --enable-performance-insights or --no-enable-performance-insights to turn Performance Insights on or off. If you specify --enable-performance-insights, you must also specify the --performance-insights-retention-period – The retention period for data for your DB cluster. The retention period must be at least 7 days.

The following example enables the Standard mode of Database Insights and enables Performance Insights when modifying a DB cluster.

For Linux, macOS, or Unix:

aws rds modify-db-cluster \ --database-insights-mode standard \ --db-cluster-identifier sample-db-cluster \ --enable-performance-insights \ --performance-insights-retention-period 7

For Windows:

aws rds modify-db-cluster ^ --database-insights-mode standard ^ --db-cluster-identifier sample-db-cluster ^ --enable-performance-insights ^ --performance-insights-retention-period 7

The following example enables the Standard mode of Database Insights and disables Performance Insights when modifying a DB cluster.

For Linux, macOS, or Unix:

aws rds modify-db-cluster \ --database-insights-mode standard \ --db-cluster-identifier sample-db-cluster \ --no-enable-performance-insights

For Windows:

aws rds modify-db-cluster ^ --database-insights-mode standard ^ --db-cluster-identifier sample-db-cluster ^ --no-enable-performance-insights
RDS API

To turn on the Standard mode of Database Insights when you modify a DB cluster, specify the following parameters for your ModifyDBCluster Amazon RDS API operation.

  • DatabaseInsightsMode to standard

  • EnablePerformanceInsights to True or False. If you set EnablePerformanceInsights to True, you must set PerformanceInsightsRetentionPeriod to at least 7 days.
